Former assistive tech specialist / teacher here. Yes, making your own study notes is good!
But using Quizlet, which uses multiple ways of learning is also effective. It's a default dark theme - better for a lot of disability needs. I'll share more on Discord.
For my former students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, anxiety, ADHD, ... taking the stress off of making their own was helpful (depending on the person, situation, etc).
It's also a learned skill of how to make effective cards - vs using them.
Just like scribing is a separate skill to paying attention. (despite what a ton of my former students' classroom teachers thought.)

Thank you, you can put it in the resources channel. I think we talk about it more in upcoming weeks when you get to it but my anki notes are avail for anyone who asks if they need them. next week we will be doing them together and talking about it. It’ll be good to have an alt way of taking notes, I appreciate you.
